I suppose the ZFS support could be used that way, but it seems more likely to be used to boot eg, Debian kFreeBSD systems.

There are people in the GRUB development community doing both of these things. I wouldn't like to try to guess which is more popular numerically.

Larry, just announced that they're interested in more use of Linux on SPARC, targeting the T4 or T5 timeframe. See http://www.pcworld.com/article/212564/ellison_oracle_enterprise_linux_coming_to_sparc.html

This suggests that they'd like ZFS under it, to tune Oracle for.
